Hello claudia_kady,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Contacts
To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" on your Mac.
You can sync your contacts with:
Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
Windows Contacts (Windows Vista / Windows 7)
Address Book (Mac OS X)
Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
Note: If using Microsoft Entourage, use Microsoft Entourage 2008 12.1.2 or later if syncing with Mac OS X v10.6 or later. If you would like to sync data on your Mac with Entourage, enable syncing between Entourage and Address Book.
Notes:
When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
Additional options for syncing include syncing your contacts with Yahoo or Gmail/Google Mail. You will need to configure it with the user name and password for your Yahoo or Google account.
Best of luck,
Mario

    As far as I know, you can't. Android and Apple devices aren't typically very compatible.

  • How to transfer contacts from iphone 3gs to iphone 5

    How do you transfer and upload contatcts from iphone 3gs ver 5.1.1 to new iphone 5?
    Anybody any solutio (s) ?

    Transfer music, photos, contacts, SMS and more from one Apple device to another. Follow these steps:
    Step 1: Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and iOS.
    Step 2: Connect your current iPhone to iTunes and sync it. Verify that your original iPhone is backed up. For more information on how to do this, see iPhone: iPhone and iPod touch: About backups
    Step 3: Connect your new iPhone 5 to iTunes (on the same computer you used to back up your current iPhone 3G).
    Step 4: iTunes will ask you if you want to restore from a backup or set up your new iPhone as a new phone. When prompted, select the backup of your current iPhone. If iTunes does not prompt you to select a backup to restore when you connect your new iPhone, use iTunes to restore iOS on your new iPhone and try this step again. Note: During the process of restoring your old backup to a new iPhone, you may see the iTunes progress bar pause. If this occurs, please allow for additional time for the upgrade to complete.
    Step 5: After iTunes finishes restoring the backup you selected to your new iPhone, the iPhone will restart.
    Step 6: When your new iPhone appears again in the iTunes window, select it.
    Step 7: Click the tabs (Info, Music, Photos, and so on) and verify or change the items you want to sync.
    Step 8: Click Apply to sync your new iPhone 5 with iTunes.
    Step 9: Verify that your saved contacts are present on your new iPhone.

  • Cannot transfer contacts from iPhone 3GS to Mac Address book

    Hi there
    I've been searching for an answer all over these forums and google, but to no avail.
    I'm using a 3GS and I'm on Snow Leopard on the mac.
    I have tried resetting the sync utility settings and all other tweaks with the phone and the iTunes panels, but I simply cant add any of the numbers that I have added to my phone on to the mac address book. The contacts are transferred to iCloud though. But there is no way to export the iCloud contacts over to the mac address book either. I have to now manually search for all the new contacts I've added (which is a project in itself) and retype it in the mac address book. Pretty ridiculous!!!!!
    Is there a fix for this or is Apple wanting everyone to buy Lion to use the dektop version of iCloud.
    Please let me know
    Thanks
    Best regards
    Zam Shabeer Thahir

    Hi guys
    Managed to find the solution
    1) On the iPhone go to settings > iCloud > Switch off contacts. (Keep contacts on phone)
    2) Then on the mac go to address book and make an archive of your contacts just in case something goes wrong. You can do this by going to File > Export > Create an archive.
    3) Then delete all the contacts and groups from your mac address book.
    4) Then go to iTunes and backup by right clicking on the iPhone on the sidbar.
    5) Sync
    Your contacts from the phone should repopluate the mac address book
    Hope that helps. It worked for me
    Best regards

    Welcome to the world of Macs. See this introduction to Macs. It might be that you need to sync your iPhone with you MBP. To do this you would connect your iPhone to your MBP which should start up iTunes so you can sync music, vids, and possibly contacts.

  • Can you copy contacts from iphone 3gs to a pc?

    I want to copy my contacts from iphone 3gs to pc so i can copy them back to my new iphone 4 is that possible?

    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer. With XP, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or with 2010 if 2010 is supported with XP along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only. Not a good idea to depend on your iPhone or on any cell phone alone for this data which can be lost or stolen.
    If you don't have Outlook available and you don't use Windows Contacts - Windows Contacts is empty, before the first sync for this data, enter one contact in Windows Contacts. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. Syncing contacts with Windows Contacts is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

    I have tested many programs to transfer my contacts from my iPhone to my computer. And I think a third party program - iPhone Contacts Backup can give you a satisfying answer. So here I recommend it to you.

  • How do you transfer contacts  from iphone to new ipad?

    how do you transfer contacts  from iphone to new ipad?

    "Paired"?  I think you are saying you were trying to use Bluetooth to do this transfer.  That will not work.
    Instead, try one of these two methods:
    1.  Use iCloud to contain the contacts.  Then set both the iPad and iPhone up to reference the iCloud contacts.
    2.  Sync the iPhone using iTunes on your computer.  Then sync the iPad using the same iTunes.
    (This may or may not work depending on what you use to house the contacts.)

  • Syncing phone book/contacts from iphone 3GS to Iphone4

    Hey,
    I just got the iphone 4 - put in the smaller sim card required and am now wondering how do I transfer my phone book from my previous 3GS to the new sim card/phone.
    My old computer crashed, and am using my laptop on which I just installed Itunes.

    I believe the best way is to use iTunes to sync the contacts from your 3GS into a 3rd party program such as Outlook. Then, use iTunes to sync the contacts from Outlook to your new iPhone 4.
